II appears that A. T. Stewart loved
money no better than did his wife.
Neither was a miser so far as attending
to personal wants was concerned, but
each had passion for accommodating and
rarely did generous action The old
lady directed by will that all her personal
effects be sold by auction, even her silk
stockings. This was indeed the ruling
passion strong in death. The world Ii

whole lives are devoted to selfish ends.

WITH the Pope leading figure in the
German elections, Catholics in America
can hardly understand why McGlynn
should be suspended. Can it be that
George is more hostile to the Catholic
church than Bismarck is? And indeed
it is a hard matter to see where the
religion is in increasing the German army
by 10000 and voting supplies for seven
years.

AT every election held to fill a vacancy

GENERAL FAIRCHILD is not a man Of

GENERAL FAIRCHILD is not a man OF
commanding ability but he has degree
of political cunning which, so far as the
turtherance of his own personal ends is
concerned, is fully as efficacious as ability
OF high order. Fairchild has managed to
commit the G. A. r. to an approval OF
the passage Of the pension bill over the
Presidents veto. 1t was done adroitly-
ostensibly with view to have candid
expression of opinion on the matter. But
haste was demanded and the very need
for haste was inexplicable on no other
ground than that some great wrong
mad been committed which should be
promptly condemned. Did any one ever
hear of a secret organization being re-
quested by its chief officer to influence
legislation? 1t was cunning move and
has resulted just as Fairchild anticipated.
Cleveland is condemned by the G. A. R.;
the first step toward proselytlzing has
been taken. The G. A. r. will cherish
resentment toward Cleveland anG its in
huence Will be used against him IN 1883.
He will certainly be the nominee OF the
democratic party and Fairchild fondly
hopes 1.-The man in the bush" described by
Henry Watterson, will be the republican
nominee. 1t is splendid move by Fair
child in Fairchilds interest as a pres
idential candidate. The republican party
cannot refuse to recognize the man who
has raised up sucn an obstacle to Cleve-
lands reelection in 1888. Fairchild has
at least one of the characteristics of joey
Baystock, is "devilisb sly"

THE socialists have developed surpris-
ing strength in the late German elections.
They have carried the city of Berlin and
have increased their numbers in the
reichstag. 1t is charged that they re-
ceived assistance from the socialists of
France, and the Knights OF Labor OF
America. Their strength will be menace
to the government and just as soon as
this becomes recognized, Bismarck will
crush them as he would an egg-shell.

THE persistent use of slang is an
evidence in most cases, of mental inert
ness or vacuity. When it is the fashion
to use saying only expressive because
Of its novelty, great many yield to 1t as
they do to fashions in clothes while refus-
ing to express approval. But such
persons tire of the silly utterance and
return to rational words to express the
ideas for which the slang was stereo-
typed form. The slang expression may
be used with effect by one who rarely
uses it in conversation or public speech.
For instance, when Justin McCarty after
a continuous flow of classic purity Of
speech dropped into the slang I'VE didn't
scare worth cent" the very homogeneous
setting of the expression called instant
attention to the idea it conveyed. If
McCarty had used many of our American
isms in his lecture, or if his language was
less choice no one would give heed to his
use of didn't scare worth cent"
One cannot help deploring the tendency
toward slang. The fact is our young
people are getting to use a sort Of gypsy
dialect and have sentences ready framed
to express thought without the neces-
sity Of thinking. Conversation has no
charms for the reason that there is moth
ing new in it, simply Encouragement of
the patent sentences prepared III the
slang factory. With stock somewhat
like the following the veriest idiot can
"shine" in society: Its cold day when
get left" "oh, come off," isn't it just
lo-ovely," Rats" "Ah there" "Pull down
your vest" isn't it mag" whats the
diff" and SO on. The person who can in
vent good slang expression is greater
than he who can capture roller rink.
And yet society would be shocked with
an oath, something less censurable than
the addiction to slang, because it does not
in conversation serve as a subject for
thought. The word chestnut and the
chestnut bell in their brief run were a
greater aggravation than all the profanity
since swearing was invented. The person
who uses slang habitually should be
made to wear cap with bells.

DELANEY has again been made the re-
cipient Of federal favors. His latest
appointment is collector OF customs for
Alaska. The position is worth 5000 per
year. His crushing defeat Of last fall has
made every one sympathize with him and
there are, perhaps, very few in the state
who are not pleased at Delaney's getting
something" His law practice was broken
up, (the fact is he never had much) and
all his means went into the campaign of
last fall. He was very largely cats
paw for Villas, but Delaney did not
require much urging to seek to enter
congress. Vilas's purpose was to kill
Bragg. Delaney was willing tool and
for the time Bragg was downed. But the
people revenged his fall and Delaney was
left politically and financially bankrupt.
The most creditable thing ever Villas did
was to secure this last appointment for
the man whom he had done SO much to
ruin. OF course Villas is paying debt,
a personal-political one, but it is to a
man who could not enforce collection
and here is the creditable feature in it.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup, within n few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is, without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the s%everest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely diff
ferent principle from the usual prescrip-
tons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and a long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, Is cents, large
bottles.
